"Significantly improved stability, increased safety and ease of working."
This was Skipper Donald Livingstone's immediate response to the question:
'After three weeks fishing with your catamaran Iona, what are the main advantages of your new boat?'
In partnership with his brother Kenny, Donald Livingstone has fished prawn creels from Shieldaig since 1979 in a succession of mono hulled boats, including two clinker planked boats built by McCaughey's of Wick.
For the last eight years the brothers have fished the Lochin 38 Fram III, which they bought from the Isle of Wight four years after the boat was built.
